Thanks---The concept came to me while laying on a beach in Bora Bora in 2005: What if much of the scientific data about the habitability of Mars was fabricated by a rogue group of elitists inside a certain American space agency? What if Mars has more than 1% of Earth's atmosphere? What if those desolate piles of rocks everyone thinks they're looking at as Martian terrain is actually somewhere in Nevada because the actual surface of Mars is far more lively?

Hey Mr. Berlin- I took your art class at White Station when I was 16. This was 1996-1997. I distinctly remember your class and teaching style. It was a big turning point in my decision to become an artist. I received my M.F.A. in '06 and am now living and working in New York City. Check out my art at http://brianjobe.com and let me know your thoughts. Thanks- Brian Jobe.

Looking good, I like the updated look of your blog. The gray background is great. Its fun messing around with different templates. I get kind of carried away with my blog sometimes, its hard to know when to stop. Im sure you'll see mine change several more times.
